Such a beautiful day.
The only surprise was that the trail went up from the pass.
We passed a lot of cyclists and CT (Colorado Trail) hikers.
About 3,817 feet of ascent today. Two passes.
We crossed eight snow fields and walked around one.
The snow was flat and melting.
We had Jessie Sherman’s Taco Soup for dinner. It was great.
Just over nineteen miles hiked after the shuttle dropped us off at 9:30. And in spite of of the water, creeks and days of rain? By camping under trees we had a condensation free night.
